Just finished putting my DR Neon strings on one of my basses. They are green (as you can see) and even more so under black light.

Uh, is that so you can find your guitar if the lights go out?

Yes. Hahaha. Don't forget I'm still visually impaired. Actually that had nothing to do with it I'm just impossibly attracted to shiny, glowing things.

It's probably not what you think it is lol. It's a 'vintage' musicman copy. Vintage being the make.

I got it off Ebay a few years back cause I want an MM but I aint shelling out the money for one. I have a Fender Jazz and that'll do for proper expensive basses ...for now. I like getting a good deal on instruments that I like the look of and then setting them up, replacing pickups, pots and whatever else needs done to make them playable. The 'Vintage' didn't need anything done to it but it was an older model and the new ones had Wilkinson pickups so I fitted one of those to it.

Interesting! I am a bass player too -- I'm heading to Boston next month for a writing session, I don't want to travel with mine (fender) so I'm looking for something cheap I can pick up while I'm there. Always fun to find something unique for a bargain!

Very cool. I have a cheap piece of crap bass, but thinking of getting a BC Rich Warlock once tax return time comes back around. Either that or a new guitar since I gave my guitar (also a generic pile of crap) to my son. My ex-smashed up my last two guitars (a Warlock and a Peavey Raptor) so I pretty much quit playing 6 or 7 years ago, but since I'm not with her anymore, I think it is time to get back to it.

When you can do it, treat yourself to the one you really want. Nothing says "closure" like living large with the perfect instrument for you (that could sound kind of creepy, but you know what I mean!)

Wish I could afford to do that. But I don't need anything fancy. I can get the sound I want out of a pretty cheap guitar, but I'm pretty picky when it comes to amps.
